Stranger Than Fiction

Home

The one place she called home, burning right in front of her. "Where has mom been?" She remembered seeing her mom's car parked in the driveway but she wasn't inside the house. Carrie walked to the car and felt all over the door for the handle. She grasped the handle and pulled the door open. The stench of blood filled the air. "Mom..?" She couldn't see, but the smell made her realize that she for sure, was dead. She closed the car door and walked away from the house. Sirens in the distance. She began to run into the nearby woods. They were getting closer by the minute. She wanted to run faster but she couldn't see. "Oh god....no. Please." Just seconds after lights flashed on her in the distance, she reached safety. She kept on running for a while. When she thought she was deep in the woods, she stopped to catch her breath. She heard rustling all around her. "Show yourself" She said without hesitation. The rustling stopped. Carrie stood completely still, she couldn't look around her. She sighed and leaned up against a tree. All of a sudden, a knife was thrown at her from a distance, Carrie dodged it and pulled her knife from her back pocket. "You wanna play? Let's play." A tall, thin girl with a pale face and cut smile walked slowly into the moonlight. "Who the fuck are you?" Carrie walked up to her and got close to her face. "What the hell do you want?" The girl smirked, she tripped Carrie, walked over her and pulled the knife from the tree. "Little bitch!" Carrie got back on her feet and dashed toward the girl, knife in hand. Carrie swung the knife at her neck but missed. The girl had skills. "Who are you?" Carrie pointed her knife at the girl. "N-i-n-a" The girl spelled out. "Lovely name, now it's time for you to die, Nina." Nina laughed and ran toward Carrie. Carrie had fast reflexes, she dodged Nina's attack and stabbed her in the back. Nina collapsed to the ground and ripped out the knife from her back. Carrie stepped on Nina's head repeatedly, each time got harder. Nina's head was eventually mush under Carrie's feet. "Things could've worked out." Carrie wiped her foot in the grass and continued to walk deeper into the forest.
